Osteria Morini is an excellent Italian restaurant, and it’s more our speed than any of Michael White’s uptown joints. We’ve been fans ever since this place opened in the early days of The Infatuation, But unfortunately, over time, the restaurant has become incredibly crowded, in the sense that they might have even squeezed a few tables into the bathroom. The crowd has also become awfully bridge and tunnel, and there are too many other great Italian restaurants in this town for us to highly recommend it. Keep in on your list for an upscale meal with a big group, when you can land a bigger table with some more elbow room. It’s also great for an early evening drink and bite at the bar.

Cured Sliced Meats

We sampled a little bit of everything: prosciutto di Parma, salami, mortadella, sopressata, and more. It’s all awesome. But you know that.
